Clone: Polyclonal
Background: Tested in immunoelectrophoresis and double radial immunodiffusion against pooled normal rat serum and purified rat albumin. One characteristic precipitin line is obtained against pooled normal rat serum using different antigen/antibody concentration ratio’s. Precipitin lines against normal rat serum and purified rat albumin give a reaction of full identity. In enzyme-immunocytochemical and immunohistochemical staining for the detection of albumin of appropriately treated cell and tissue substrates at the cellular and subcellular level. In non-isotopic assay methodology (e.g. ELISA) to identify and measure albumin in rat serum or other body fluid. In electron microscopy, since the complex between the conjugated antibody and the antigen also has electron-dense properties. This immunoconjugate is not pre-diluted. The optimum working dilution of each conjugate should be established by titration before being used. Excess labelled antibody must be avoided because it may cause high unspecific background staining and interfere with the specific signal.
Source: Albumin is a stable small polypeptide with a strong antigenicity. Its molecular weight is about 69,000. It has a high mobility in electrophoresis, shows macro-heterogeneity especially under pathological conditions and it can bind a large number of physiological and non-physiological molecules. Albumin is isolated from rat serum by sequential precipitation and purified by ion exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography. Freund’s complete adjuvant is used in the first step of the immunization procedure.
Specificity: Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated IgG fraction of polyclonal Rabbit antiSerum to Rat albumin.
Formulation: Peroxidase-coupled purified hyperimmune rabbit IgG lyophilized from a solution in phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). No preservative added, as it may interfere with the antibody activity.
